I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2015
Interview
First took an online assessment, about 21 minutes and just 7 basic programming debugging questions. You just need to change one or two lines of code to get the expected output. Manage your time wisely. Then I got a phone interview a week later with one of the software engineer, he asked me some basic data structure questions such as How to implement a queue, how to implement a linked list, what's the insert, search runtime for max/min heap etc. Then he threw me two questions, one is reverse a singly linked list and the other one is binary tree level order traversal. I coded my answer on an online coding board. The process is very smooth I think and the engineer that I was talking to is patient and willing to answer questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
